The situation
The Under-20 Celeste team begins its preparation for the South American of the category with the inclusion of Álvaro Rodríguez, who plays for Castilla. The year 2023 will be full of important tournaments in the lower categories, which will resume after the forced break due to Covid-19. One of them will be the South American U-20 tournament , which all the countries have been preparing hard for months with rallies and preparatory matches. For this reason , Uruguay has summoned 33 footballers who will train under Marcelo Broli from this Thursday. One name stands out from the list, that of Madrid player Álvaro Rodríguez. Rodríg uez , barely 18 years old, works for Real Madrid Castilla as a center forward and stands out for his physical condition. His height of 192 centimeters makes him an impressive attacker who has already accumulated three goals this season under Raúl ‘s order. Last season, divided between ownership and substitution, he scored four goals and this season he has settled in the eleven and it seems that he will improve his figures by far despite the call from Celeste that will keep him away from his club for a few days.
The details
It should be noted that Rodríguez has already participated with the Spanish team in the lower categories and last June he scored with the Under-18s. Ancelotti already took this into account in the league match against Sevilla played on October 22 and entered the squad to experience the match on the substitute bench. It remains to be seen if the coach gives him the opportunity soon with the first team due to the lack of replacements in the area when Benzema is not present. What is clear is that the club has him very much in mind, since in August they extended his contract until 2027. Only thing we have to do at this point is to wait and see what is going to happen in close future.
